Where Passion Meets Opportunity

2017 Dates Announced

Rutherford Works Code Camps are educational, five day programs for middle and high school students that strive to create a fun, engaging, and immersive environment in which they are challenged to think about technology. Our program teaches students to create with code. By giving students the resources needed for success, we hope they will become leaders of the high-tech Tennessee workforce.

The weeklong day-camp will be conducted from 9 AM to 3 PM each day. At the end of the camp, the students will host parents for a “Demo Day” where they will exhibit the skills they have learned.

With over 1,000 tech jobs going unfilled in Middle Tennessee every year, your student can get a jump start toward a high wage, high demand career.

The Internship Program will provide rising seniors who reside in Rutherford County the opportunity to gain paid work experience with a Rutherford County employer.
A high school diploma is no longer enough for many of today’s manufacturing jobs. Yet rarely discussed are the academic skills needed for today’s factory-floor positions and the pathways through education that lead to them. Enter the employer. Apprenticeships are making a comeback, complete with college. Read more
